In a study to determine whether counseling could help people lose weight, a sample of people experienced a group-based behavioral intervention, which involved weekly meetings with a trained interventionist for a period of six months. The following data are the numbers of pounds lost for 5 people 18.2, 3.9, 17.1, 8.8, 4.7 It is reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normal. A researcher wants to know whether the mean weight loss is greater than 10 pounds. Compute the P-value of the test. Write down your P-value. You will need it for the next question.

Overweight Men For a random sample of 60 over- weight men, the mean of the number of pounds that they were overweight was $30 .$ The standard deviation of the population is 4.2 pounds. $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { a. Find the best point estimate of the average number of }} \\ {\text { excess pounds that they weighed. }} \\ {\text { b. Find the } 95 \% \text { confidence interval of the mean of }} \\ {\text { these pounds. }}\end{array} $$ $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text {c. Find the } 99 \% \text { confidence interval of these pounds. }} \\ {\text { d. Which interval is larger? Why? }}\end{array} $$
